Mscb1100 helped me to plan the route. He recommended me a small nice single lane road at the way from his place to Barber. However, that road was somehow blocked.



I have no clue, how the driver of this truck got the idea, his vehicle would pass thru this small lane.



Btw he must have passed this small wooden bridge just 1/2 mile before. My guess is "brainless following the navi instructions".



Then there was Barber. Stunning! I did a lot of pictures, but you may find better ones in the internet. They have so many motorcycles. While this museum has 5 floors, they only can show half of the motorcycles they have. The other half is in the store. I did, what I guess every motorcycle rider visitor does, looking for my first bike. It took me 2 1/2 hours to do my walk along the 5 floors from the top to the ground. Many memories were triggered. That visit was well worth to go that much south on my ride across the USA.





From Barber I took I20 east and turned south near Oxford to ride a detour thru the Talladega National Forest.



Roads get smaller, no traffic and fun to ride.



and today seems to be the day of the obstacles. However, I could find my way around this one.



Back on I20 east I crossed the border to Georgia and again another timezone.



I stay in a motel west of Atlanta. Tomorrow morning I have to go downtown. I'm curious, how that will be...
